10 Christmas Movies You Should Never Let The Kids Watch

6. Jack Frost (1996)

He is the world's most p****d-off snowcone. To clarify, this is not the classic family favourite Jack Frost, starring Michael Keaton, which was released in 1998, and for the love of Christmas, I warn parents not to mix these two DVDs up on the day itself. This Jack Frost is a far more sinister tale, featuring Scott MacDonald as the deadly serial killer Jack Frost, who being transported to his place of execution on a dark and snowy night, sees his vehicle crash and his body being melted by acid. His body then fuses with the snow, through special effects that would make Ed Wood embarrassed. The film's dodgy visuals left the critics very unimpressed, but has garnered the film cult status, as well as the Schwarzenegger award for dodgy ice-related puns. However, that does not mean that the film is suitable viewing after Christmas dinner. Jack takes the form of an evil Frosty the Snowman, and proceeds to kill numerous men, women and teenagers, with means such as decapitation with a sledge. But the most disturbing scene to my recollection was when Jack transforms himself into the water in a bath, and able to refreeze himself, takes advantage of the woman in the bath and has his wicked way with her until she dies. You would never be able to listen to Walking in the Air in the same way after watching that. The film has spawned numerous sequels, all of which are very unsuitable for children, and continue to keep the (snow)ball rolling after the hard work of the first film. I do suggest adults give it a watch though, if only to laugh at the crude manner in which the film is put together. http://youtu.be/ev0NkYfkgYE
